Another Page is Christopher Cross 's second studio album, recorded in 1982 and released in early 1983. It was not as commercially successful as its predecessor (it was certified Gold by the RIAA, but only after his self-titled debut album had already been certified Platinum by the time of the release of Another Page ). "Think of Laura ", taken from the album as Cross's third single, reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. It was Cross' final single to reach the Top 10. The first single, "All Right ", reached #12 on the chart a year before. As a single, "No Time For Talk" peaked at #33. "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) " appeared as a bonus track on the cassette and later CD releases of the album. The album reached number 1 in Japan in 1983 .[ 2]
An instrumental version of "No Time for Talk" appeared in the movie American Anthem , which was composed by the song's co-author and producer of Another Page , Michael Omartian .
